Hairspray Returns!

by Corinne Levinstein

John_WatersJohn Waters is one of Baltimore’s most famous residents. He brought our city to the big screen in movies such as: Hairspray, Cry Baby, Pecker, Pink Flamingos, Serial Mom and many more. I watched the original Hairspray in my home in Hampden last night. Although Hairspray was first filmed twenty years ago, the kitch of Hampden and Baltimore pride still runs rampant. Unfortunately, the scenes filmed on North Avenue and the segregation in Baltimore are prevelant today as well.

Tomorrow night, John Waters, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Nikki Blonsky, director Adam Shankman, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, are schedule to appear at the premiere of Hairspray at The Charles Theater. Following the premiere, The Tremont Grand will be hosting a Gala. The proceeds from the premiere and gala event will go to “AIDS Action Baltimore, Inc. (AAB) and the Downtown Partnership Foundation, non-profit organizations that provide services to people with HIV/AIDS and homeless people in the Baltimore area.”

I hope you’ll comment here and let us know what you think of Hairspray 2007.
